Game of Thrones begins....

[Admiral Yi]

it's pretty fantastic. it seems a casualty is feudalism's lower-tier

Come again?

[Faeelin]

Pretty good. Someone said "Eh, I'll keep watching only for the puppies."

I laughed hysterically. But then I also laughed hysterically at the end of the episode.

[LaCroix]

Come again?

what i meant by that, and i might not have worded that correctly, was that all those lords and barons, the men who hold land and have power in their local areas because they were loyal to the next tier. ned's was shown a few times in discussion with robert, but the lower levels weren't at all

[Josephus]

Just saw it. Well done, but someone who hasn't read the books is going to be very, very confused, I think.

I'll let you know when I watch it in the next few days.

So let me get this straight: you didn't think the peasant mudfarmers got enough screen time.

[Razgovory]

I suppose a fantasy novel from perspective of a serf who sees the heroes once as they go off, and one more time when he is in the crowd cheering the heroes triumphant return would not make a very interesting story.

Gutlaf Moolman sighed as he picked up the morning paper, noting with disinterest how the headlines were again about that boorish "hero" fighting another dragon. His back twinged a bit, as had been its wont lately, when he straightened up again. All those years working at the mud farm had certainly taken their toll on his body. A shriek from behind him sent him careening into a semblance of what might to someone very inexperienced look like a fighting stance, and he peered nervously into the antechamber of the small hovel. Ismelda, his teenage daughter, was stomping off in another hormone fueled rage about something that was assuredly of little importance to anyone who is not a teenage girl.

That is funny! 

[Martinus]

those i saw it with were more unnerved by the sudden rush of rough child rape + incest + implied death of a child

So they closed the episode with "things I do for love"? Sweet. I remember I was pretty unnerved when I read it first time too.

Btw, I have not read the books for a while - child rape?

Oh yeah.
Lots of nice tits, too.
And a shirtless scene with Robb, Theon and Jon for you.

[Martinus]

Who gets raped? Or do you mean Daenerys?

Isn't Daenerys 12-13 in the books. How old is she supposed to be in the shows? 15-16?

Ok but this is retarded. Incest (unless you are a Targaeryn) or throwing a child off out of a window is indeed shocking, both by modern and Westeros standards. But if you apply modern standards to sexual initiation, half of real world medieval marriages were "child rape". You could be just as well shocked by the "cruel and unusual" punishment of beheading.

In the West, we are sufficiently removed from the Dark Ages to be shocked by these things. A concept you stone carving Poles will not understand.

Of course, there's not a lot you folks DO understand, so I guess there's no real need for such repetition. Let a dead Winged Hussar lie, so to speak.

Even though, I will admit, the thought of kicking dead polacks is somewhat amusing.

But I digress.

Didn't get half of these references. Or were you just rambling?
